阅读理解翻译（不要机译）谢谢！

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.
Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

对于大多数人来说害羞是许多不愉快的起源。羞涩的人们都很焦虑并且很害羞，那就是，他们总是过分的关心他们的外表和举止。令人担忧的想法时常出现在他们的脑海里：我给人留下了什么样的印象？他们喜欢我吗？我是不是听起来很愚蠢？我有没有穿没有吸引力的衣服呢？
很明显这些让人不舒服的感觉会给人们消极的影响。一个人的他或她自己的信念是通过他或她行为的方式反映出来的，并且一个人行为的方式会影响其他人的反映。总体上来说，人们对于他们自己的思考方式对于他们生活的各种场合都有一种深刻的影响。
羞涩的人，有一种很低的自尊，很可能会变得极端并且很容易被其他人影响。他们需要一种对于他们在做“正确的事情”的保证。羞涩的人对于批评是非常敏感的；他们觉得这加强了他们的自卑感。他们也发现通过像这样的表达方式赞美来获得快乐是很难的“你刚才说的让我感觉很好。我知道那不是真的。”很明显善意的自我安慰是一种健康的品质，过度的却是伤害。
那么羞怯能不能被完全的消除，或是至少减轻呢？幸运的是，人们可以通过坚定决心和耐心的在建立自信上努力就可以战胜羞怯。因为羞怯和缺乏自尊是同时产生的，接受他们的软弱同样他们的强大对人们来说是很重要的。
我们中的每个人都是独一无二的，有个人的价值，对我们自己的个性感兴趣。我们越好的了解我们自己，那么挖掘我们全部的潜能就会变得更容易。那么不要再让羞怯妨碍我们拥有一个充实和富于的生活的机会。
